Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point on Grand Turk, and Grace Bay on Providenciales. Today in Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 6:39 AM and sets at 6:35 PM, with the moon 55% lit. Across the islands, easterly trades keep the seas moving while warm tropical air hangs over the banks and reefs. Early evening skies do not look ideal for stargazing tonight with plenty of cloud cover.

Friday brings warm boating weather but with more clouds than sunshine across the country. At Mudjin Harbour, Grace Bay, and Boaby Rock Point, temperatures hold near 82 to 85 F through the day, and with humidity mostly 75 to 79% it will feel like 90 to 94 F. Winds stay out of the east around 14 to 17 Miles Per Hour, strongest off Grand Turk, and waves run 3 feet at Grace Bay, 4 feet at Mudjin, and 4 to 5 feet at Boaby Rock Point, so Providenciales is the easiest water while Grand Turk is the choppiest. Morning skies turn quite cloudy, especially from sunrise through midday, but rain stays so light for most hours that many crews will barely notice more than a stray sprinkle. By late afternoon and especially around dinner time, the chance of visible showers ticks up a bit, most notably at Mudjin and Grand Turk, so outdoor tables may want a quick eye on the sky after 6 PM. Even so, it stays very usable for fishing, beachgoing, and nearshore runs, with Grace Bay the smoothest pick today and Boaby Rock Point rougher than the country average.

Saturday looks brighter and friendlier overall, especially for beach crews and morning boat runs. Mudjin Harbour starts with clearing skies and 81 to 84 F, Grace Bay and Boaby Rock Point sit near 82 to 83 F, and with humidity mostly 70 to 77% it will feel like 87 to 90 F. Winds remain easterly at 12 to 15 Miles Per Hour, easing a touch from Friday. Seas hold at 4 feet around Mudjin and Grand Turk, but Grace Bay stays near 3 feet, keeping Providenciales the smoothest water again. The morning turns fairly sunny to mostly sunny in Grace Bay and Grand Turk, while Mudjin also enjoys much more blue sky than today. Around late morning into afternoon, brief sunshowers are possible, most noticeable at Grace Bay and Grand Turk, but there is still plenty of dry time between them. By dinner time, conditions improve again with light rain chances and comfortable trade winds, making for a pleasant evening for waterfront dining. Mudjin runs a little cloudier than the southern spots later in the day, while Grace Bay keeps the best mix of lower seas and easy boating.
